When you plugin to the grid and charge your electric car or e-bike, do you ever wonder, if you are running on clean electrons?  Or in other words, have you ever thought about, how the electricity that charges your battery, is generated?
Sadly, our Indian grid is one of the dirtiest among many nations, due to our over dependence on coal.
But this is changing, many states are pushing for clean energy in their portfolio. 
In this blog, I try to answer some questions - Which state has the cleanest grid?  Which has the dirtiest? Which state ensures that your electric vehicle is running on clean electrons?

“The Ghost of Christmas Past is the first of the three spirits to haunt Ebenezer Scrooge. The spirit shows Scrooge scenes from his past that occurred on or around Christmas, in order to demonstrate to him the necessity of changing his ways, as well as to show the reader how Scrooge came to be a bitter, cold-hearted miser.” - Wikipedia
The Ghost of EVs Past is the combination of the three problems that haunt an EV owner in India today. The article will show the experience of past and current EV owners that occurred in or around the IIT Madras campus, in order to demonstrate the necessity of changing the ways EVs should be designed and sold in India.

Auto Expo 2014 - Focus on Mahindra Reva

The Indian Auto Expo 2014 in Delhi has been interesting and disappointing at the same time. If you are expecting major announcements from Indian and Global auto manufacturers concerning electric mobility launches, then we haven't seen much. BMW did not showcase the BMW i3 pure electric. Nissan has ignored the Leaf for the Indian market. No big Indian manufacturer like Tata, Maruti have showcased any electric concept car either.
However Mahindra Reva has done some great work over the years to create an EV market here in India.
Their e2o electric car is a pleasure to drive and own.  This blog highlights some major announcements by them at the Auto Expo 2014.  
I shall update the blog as and when more news comes though.  So stay tuned!

As per the latest reports in the media circuit, the ministry of heavy industries is targeting to roll out subsidies for electric vehicles under the National Electric Mobility Mission Plan, by April 2014.

Now if our government keeps up this promise, this would be great news for the EV industry.  Around the world the EV industry is supported by the government in the form of subsidies for consumers, EV infrastructure development and breaks for EV manufacturers.  But sadly we have nothing here in our country for EV manufacturers or consumers. Its about time, that this situation is reversed.
